Album: It Takes A Thief

Bring Back Somethin Fo Da Hood Lyrics

INTRO:(COOLIO TALKING) 

This record goes out to all you fake ass, gangsta baller bueschwa-minded ass house niggas who forget their colour. Put on a suit and tie and escape from the ghetto and don't never come back. Yeah motherfucker, you can run but you sure can't hide! 

Deep down in the jungle with a crack to the throat 

Niggas kill niggas for steppin on their toe 

A girl is a bitch and a lady is a ho 

When anything goes for a little bit o'docey 

Shit get cooked by thugs and crooks 

With the knowledge of a scholar but they don't read books 

Everyday is a chance that ya life might go 

So today is a day that ya gotta get paid 

Slang them ki's,make them g's 

Do what'cha want but ya sell what'cha please 

But don't fuck ??? where you come from 

Cos when you do that you're done 

Remember your niggas and bitches and your Trojans 

And take it to your pockets for some fitness 

When ya get it goin and ya got it goin good 

Ya better bring back somethin for da hood 

HOOK 1 

Bring back somethin fo da hood motherfucker! 

Bring back somethin fo da hood! 

REPEAT 

LA County what's goin on? 

1993 modern day Babylon 

Peace to the niggas from the street 

And rest in peace to the others that's six feet deep 

Welcome to the fool and he strikes when he's back 

And the snake come around,go around and get ape 

Top down,slipped on CO-run they none 

Every (?cisscrack?)-CAINE ain't no fun 

Black cop white cop *gun shot* 

Fuck the colour of skin make sure he shot *gun shot* 

Escape from a jail cell,split away from hell 

And all I want for Christmas is a Glock and some shells 

Billy Boy takes the pictures,(?Rak watch the room?) 

Five-I-seven on my switch,we got out early 

Taddle-tails get dropped an' they get got good 

So get this stoob nigga for the hood 

HOOK 2 

Get that nigga fo da hood motherfucker! 

Get that nigga fo da hood! 

REPEAT 

INTERLUDE 

Them niggas ain't playin!(x 3) 

(What'cha gonna do when you get out of jail?) 

Get that nigga fo da hood 

VERSE 3 

You must remember dis if you're black and you're rich 

One push come to shove they'll take your shit 

Martin Luther King didn't wear a diamond ring 

But he had a dream to let freedom reign 

My homie Red Foxx got played like blocks 

Pick em up sticks,jacks and hop-scotch 

???,aggravation,there's no end to the situation 

Cos niggas need a place to meet,a place to sleep 

A place to eat and rest they feet 

But nobody really even gives a fuck 

That's why so many niggas is maggot'd up,huh 

You claimin the hood but you don't back it up 

Fool!And when they catch ya ass,they gonna FUCK you up 

So when you get it goin and ya got it goin good 

You better bring back somethin fo da hood 

REPEAT HOOK 1(x 2) 

OUTRO 

Bring back somethin fo da hood MOTHERFUCKER 

(Haa-aah!Haa-aah!Haa-aah!)
